Lophoscutus prehensilis
Compared to 8 other identified specimens from the FSCA collection
in Gainsville, FL. Matches to L. prehensilis. Still have not found
a descriptive key to the genus yet, but I am very certain of the
ID based on the specimen comparisons. Dr. Dave Ryder confirmed
the genus via sepcor.
